State-of-the-Art Social Media Marketing Strategies Driving Business Growth from the Heart of the Web

Social Media Marketing Training

Most will agree that the Internet is a rich source of new business revenue. The key to funneling this new revenue in to your coffers lies in a your ability to tap in to the seam in a manner that will be welcomed and appreciated by the sea of potential new clients that exists on the social web.

Social media allows a business to merge and communicate with prospects in the places that they “hang out” instead of Sell to them. Rather than chase business the company merely invites it, and then it will come.

When a brand engages consumers in conversation without trying to sell, they win respect and “citizen advocates” a consequence of which is more new clients and increased sales, or increased awareness to your message.

Traditional Field Sales Team -vs- Social Media Sales Team

Social Media Marketing is still in its infancy and the businesses who choose to learn how to dominate their category online via integrity driven Social Media Marketing will benefit ahead of the competition.

Dependant on the business genre a tradition sales team can cost an overhead large enough to finance a small country. Conversely a single Social Media Sales person can touch thousands of people per day at a mere fraction of the cost.

EG: A traditional field sales person will cost his or her employer upwards of £48.00 per sales call, a well trained Social Media Marketer will cost his or her employer about £65.00 Per-Day!

The case for training key members of your team in Social Media Marketing techniques is as compelling as not engaging in Social Media Marketing is Scary.
